Tinnitus, often referred to as ringing in the ears, may seem like a negligible condition that is not seriously life threatening. People who suffer from tinnitus, however, know how much it interferes with routine day to day life. In fact, tinnitus can also lead to serious complications.

Tinnitus can be experienced as ringing, whistling, buzzing, hissing or roaring sounds in one ear, in both ears or in the head. The sound level also varies among individuals. It can be constant or it may come and go. Sometimes it is even accompanied by deafness. This condition can interfere with sleep and normal life, can lead to depression and can even develop into more serious mental and emotional problems.
There are several possible causes of tinnitus, among them, complications arising from secretory otitis media; ear infections and inflammations; otosclerosis; Menière’s disease; disorders of blood vessels in the head; high doses of certain drugs such as quinine, aspirin and selected antibiotics; and even severely impacted ear wax.
Extended exposure to noise from earphones, pneumatic drills and other prolonged noises can also cause tinnitus. Stress is another major factor.
